Book Synopsis Legends of Scottish Saints by : Alan Denis Macquarrie

Download or read book Legends of Scottish Saints written by Alan Denis Macquarrie and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scotland's first full-scale printed book is the Aberdeen Breviary, published in Edinburgh in 1510. It contains the only major collection of legends of Scottish saints. Many of the saints are of Irish origin, but the book also includes English, Welsh, Pictish, and Scandinavian saints. The Breviary of Aberdeen has not been edited for 150 years. The existing facsimile edition is rare and in places untrustworthy; it is very difficult to use, without index, translation, notes, or commentary. This edition is intended to make the material more accessible to scholars, local historians, and general readers for future research. It is a reliable edition of a fascinating collection of legends of early saints, describing the development of their cult and also their heroic struggles, self-denial, and amazing miracles, in a scholarly book with detailed introduction, text, translation, and more.
